8. Involving Youth in Their Placements

Ideally, older children and youth are able to have significant involvement in their own permanency planning. Using a team approach to permanency planning for youth allows them to participate as team members in the planning process. Their involvement can include the following:

  • The identification of kin or other important people who may be willing to provide a permanent connection or even a permanent family
  • Participation in teen conferences, adoption fairs, and other activities in which youth and prospective families are brought together
  • Involvement in youth development opportunities, such as training and recruiting of prospective families
